SYNOPSIS
Latina, the definitive fashion, beauty, and lifestyle magazine for U.S. Hispanic women, recently unveiled a new editorial and design direction. The slicker mag skews edgier and younger, but it's still freelancer-simpatico.

Editor-in-chief Mimi Valdés Ryan, former editor of Vibe, led the magazine's makeover. We watch as she takes pitches from our three writers for the new and improved Latina. Listen and learn.
